From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia
Jacinto Benavente y MartÃnez (August 12, 1866 – July 14, 1954), awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1922, was one of the foremost Spanish dramatists of the 20th century. He returned drama to reality by way of social criticism: declamatory verse giving way to prose, melodrama to comedy, formula to experience, impulsive action to dialogue and the play of minds. Benavente showed a preoccupation with aesthetics and later with ethics.
